Liverpool are chasing Youssoufa Moukoko but will have to convince the rising star that a move to Anfield would not see him sat on the bench.
That's according to The Times, who say the Reds are one of three Premier League sides monitoring Moukoko alongside Manchester United and Chelsea. The 18-year-old is expected to be the latest in a long line of world-class players developed by Borussia Dortmund, following his six goals and six assists in 22 games across all competitions this season.
Moukoko's current contract with the Bundesliga club runs out in the summer and his reluctance to quash speculation by signing a new deal is said to have put the Reds on high alert. Dortmund reportedly saw an annual salary offer of £4.4million rebuffed by the Germany international but are expected to return to negotiate and are desperate not to lose their star for free.
